External classification

The classification of South Omotic (also called Aroid) is highly disputed.

Zaborski (1986)^[1] and Lamberti (1993)^[2] consider South Omotic to be a separate branch of Cushitic, renaming it as West Cushitic.

Bender (2000, 2003)^[3]^[4] notes that South Omotic is in fact quite divergent from other Afroasiatic languages, and suggests that it may in fact have connections with Nilo-Saharan, such as Surmic and Nilotic.

Citing lexical similarities with Surmic and other non-Nilotic Nilo-Saharan languages, Yigezu (2013)^[5] argues that Aroid ({{sc|aka}} South Omotic) has a "Nilo-Saharan origin" and had become strongly influenced by other "Omotic" language groups. The Proto-Aroid vowel system is also more similar to those of the Surmic and Nilotic languages (Yigezu 2006, 2013).^[5]
